   That means the `bt' driver didn't recognize the drive for some reason,
   maybe it's a firmware problem of your BusLogic.

   If upgrading the firmware doesn't help, please get in contact with
   freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org.  (Hey, remember, there's no such thing as
   Usenet support for FreeBSD!  All the support goes in mailing lists. :-)

I had problems with a BusLogic 2940 after a motherboard upgrade
(from a neptune to triton, BTW). The only thing which changed
was the motherboard, nothing else. (this was back when I was running
2.0.5).

When I contacted BusLogic tech support, I was told that early versions
of the 2940 firmware were "not fully PCI compliant". They were very
nice and replaced my boards with ones with Rev E firmware, and
everything now works nicely. I previously had Rev B firmware.
So I would suggest that you try to get a firmware upgrade and
see if it helps.
